The Joker Seeks The King's Trouble For The First Time Since The Bubble! | Official Lakers (#7) vs. Nuggets (#1) WCF Thread

[JSS]

Vando was doing a great job on Murray. Yet u bench him in the 4th?

He was being ignored on offense by Jokic and was clogging up the paint. I agree though. Ham should have put him in once Murray was on a role.

 

[BK The Great]

Lakers gotta win the next one, but not a good way to start this series off for them.

 

[Blessings]

That LeHeroBall 3 at the end of game 1 was pretty bad and unnecessary (down only 3 with plenty of time left) but I could somewhat understand.

But the consecutive LeHeroBall 3s in this 4th quarter (while up 2) were inexcusable. That’s back-to-back games now where his IQ went down the gutter late.

Those were due to fatigue…Ham should’ve rested him

 

[No1]

He didn’t have a great game. But he’s clearly the mvp. He is literally breaking records thought to be unbreakable.

Embiid flamed out in the 2nd round like he ALWAYS does. He was not the mvp.

Shut the fukk up about a regular season award man damn. No one gives a fukk. Go play 2k and give him MVP there and jerk off to that. You post this bullshyt every other day.

 

[Big Boss]

He can't get no lift. He look like his mind is telling him to do this but his body is saying otherwise. He's looking like Peyton in Denver

and he's playing in the altitude

 

[fifth column]

Steal the 1st one and chill was the Lakers strategy up to this point, losing that 1st game sealed their fate for this 2nd game.

 

[Tallac]

Another great game by Rui and Reaves only to be killed by Bron, AD and D-Lo. It is still possible for the Lakers to win, those games have been very close.

 

[Green Ranger]

Bron tired as hell lol

These two and that missed layup Bron had earlier really cost them.

When the last time you ever legit seen Lebron look like this that altitude aint no joke
he looks old here

 

[cornercommission2k12]

The talking heads had people believing nothing the Nuggets did in game one was sustainable but everything Lakers did would carry over into each and every game.

I said last game that I felt the nuggets took the Lakers best shot and still won. Wasn't sure the nuggets would shoot that well but I was dam sure we wasn't getting another 40 pt game from Davis lol

 

[skyrunner1]

Stop crying

lol what

 

[The D-List Vet]

This was a winnable game Nuggets are not going to shoot this bad next game I see lakers winning game 4 but its ending in 5

 

[Rosecrans]

Bronze is washed

Lakers win that game with instead of LeBrick

 

[#1 pick]

There is a massive gulf between Jokic and AD. it’s astonishing,

Jokic has had his best year this year. This is his WAR

Only 15-16 Curry has been better in the RS in the last 10 years. Jokic is an offensive nightmare.

 

[360Waves]

I’m sorry but watching these 2 games nothing about this Denver team impresses or scares me. This was more Lakers giving away 2 winnable games than Denver outplaying them. This shyt will be tied 2-2 going back to Denver, guaranteed.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

What could he have done better ?

He was awful defensively, awful in one on one situations, mediocre shooting the ball, and turned it over 5 times. His assists were inflated off hand offs to hot 3-point shooters or fast breaks.

Let’s not pretend like Jamal Murray didn’t just win the game despite another awful 4th quarter from Jokic
